Splash! I jumped into each puddle making a new sound with every step. It was raining that achingly long day and instead of being with my friends on a saturday night, I had to deliver 103 pizzas around my home town.

We arrived to a place where we had to wait for more than an hour to get on a ferry boat that would take us…
